About QTs & Cuties

QTs & Cuties is a comedy community in Denver, CO. Centering performers who identify as queer, trans, and/or women, and inviting anyone that respects the space.

What We Do
We produce recurring open mics and occasional showcases at welcoming venues across Denver, with multiple events each month. Check the event listings for the next date, signup details, and ticket information.
Every show is a chance to see queer and trans performers and women take the stage, and to laugh in a room built for us.
A Safer Space
We run our events as a safer and more welcoming space, especially for queer folks and women. Everyone is welcome when they can respect the room, the lineup, and each other.
Our hosts and organizers keep an eye on the room so you can relax. Heckling, harassment, and targeted cruelty are not tolerated.
Read the full event rules for the details, including how to report an issue privately.
Who We Are
Mercy Hawkins hosting a QTs & Cuties comedy show
QTs & Cuties was created and is run by Mercy Hawkins (she/her) in 2026. After seeing a need for more welcoming spaces in Denver's comedy scene, she ran the series at The Pearl up until its closure. It now moves between venues across the city and happens multiple times a month.
Mercy does a little bit of everything: hosting, booking, running audio, maintaining the website, and keeping the whole thing moving. Her one goal is to create a comedy room where more people can feel at home.
